A doctor injected a filler in my lips which resulted in a very defined pout. Frazel has been suggested by another surgeon. Any suggestions?

Answer: Clear and brilliant laser to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Also recommend applying a small amount of filler Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Smoker Lines Thank you for your question. For perioral furrows, my preference is laser resurfacing. Soft tissue fillers can also be helpful for deeper lines. I hope this helps!

Answer: What would you recommend to remove "smoker lines" above the lip? There are generally three very effective options for lip lines: Fractional or full CO2 laser, fillers, and Botox, with Ultherapy being a fourth option.CO2 laser treatments are considered the gold standard for treating lip lines but this does require some "downtime" but the results last several years if not longer. Fillers can be effective as well if the lines are deep enough but too much filler can cause the lip to appear too full. Botox is reasonably effective and definitely limits the progression of lines and wrinkles too.The attached link and website provides more inforamtion.I hope this helps.

Answer: There are several options for creases around the lips. I prefer to put a very soft ptfe implant that looks like a spaghetti noodle in the vermillion border of the lip. This is easily done under local and takes less than 20 min to permanently correct the problem and looks natural for roughly $1500-2000 per implant. Often a medium TCA chemical peel is also great to improve the area as well. Lasers are ok but more expensive than peels for the same results. Botox is to be avoided since there are often problems with trying to get even results from it. Filler are ok but temporary. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
